Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to security systems for securing an item of merchandise from theft or unauthorized removal. For example, the security system may include a sensor configured to be coupled to the item of merchandise, wherein the sensor includes an electrical connector. The security system also includes a base configured to removably support the sensor thereon, wherein the base includes an electronics module having a connector. The connector of the sensor and the connector of the electronics module are configured to electrically connect with one another when the sensor is supported on the base, and the sensor is configured to detect unauthorized removal of the item of merchandise from the sensor.

Abstract: This document describes systems and techniques for representing computer-generated objects with a limit mesh. In general, the systems and techniques may generate an object's form or appearance based on an estimation of how the object would look if shapes that form the object were infinitely subdivided to create a smooth surface for the object. For example, when a user views a distance object in a video game, its shape can be estimated by calculating an approximation of what the object would look like if the polygons that make up the object were infinitely divided. As the user approaches the object, curving solutions that may be embedded in the object can be used to construct curves for the object so that it appears smooth.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a user wearable viewing device for assisting the user to view a representation of three dimensional content. The user wearable viewing device is assigned a unique identifier to provide a private viewing experience for the user.

Abstract: A system includes a computing device that includes a memory configured to store instructions. The computing device also includes a processor configured to execute the instructions to perform a method that includes projecting a first simulated ray from a moveable character within an interactive virtual environment to intersect one or more virtual surfaces represented in the environment. The method also includes rendering a graphical representation of the first simulated ray to identify the absence of an intersection with the one or more virtual surfaces represented in the interactive virtual environment.

Abstract: A system includes a computing device that includes a memory configured to store instructions. The computing device also includes a processor configured to execute the instructions to perform a method that includes presenting a representation of three dimensional content on a single display. The three dimensional content representation is presented as a shared viewing experience for at least two viewers. The method also includes presenting a representation of two dimensional content on the single display to a first viewer of the at least two viewers. The two dimensional representation is presented as a private viewing experience for the first viewer and a second viewer of the at least two viewers is visually isolated from the presented two dimensional content representation.

Abstract: Among other disclosed subject matter, a computer program product is tangibly embodied in a computer-readable storage medium and includes instructions that when executed by a processor perform a method for allocating assets. The method includes assigning each of multiple operation sectors defined by a software program to respective ones of multiple load groups, each load group grouping at least one operation sector for loading assets of the operation sector into memory. The method includes assigning all assets from the multiple operation sectors into respective ones of multiple clusters based on associations between the respective assets and the multiple operation sectors. The method includes generating and storing a memory layout that assigns one of multiple memory locations to each of the multiple clusters for at least one of the multiple load groups.
